  1. Computer crashing and resetting while gaming on Steam


    Good evening,I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and have since been having problems with my system crashing and restarting while playing games. This only seems to be an issue while I'm using Steam; other programs like GOG and Epic don't have any issues.I've tried reinstalling drivers for just about everything I can think of to no avail along with reinstalling Steam and a fresh install of Windows 11 entirely.I have .nfo and .evtx files available here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Arp8uRelVuyParJH48yGlT-XUnw?e=hOlr7rAny help would be much appreciated. I'm at my wits' end.

    :)
